Center WW

[super dark33]

A little more then a 100 psots till this game will be forced to end.
Maybe you should speed up things?

[Ramsus]

Day 26 over.

Sorry about the extra long day. Superdark, I think we'll be fine (not that I did the math or anything).

Edit: I can always go delete all these day/night over posts if needed.

[Grue Bait]

It's not like we need a confirmation of who died, Superdark.

[Zjoot]

There was one play of Classic that went over 50 pages. They just started a new thread.

[Ramsus]

Actually, as it seems that the results at this point are more or less inevitable (Penguinator and I went over the best possible scenario for town that didn't involve more than half the Celestial team failing to vote), with your permission we'd like to just resolve the events quickly. So, everyone in favor or against please say how you feel about the idea and we'll proceed from there.

[Istari]

Well I did want to see us kill another Celestial or two, but if we get a nice epic ending narration I'll be cool.

[bladescape]

Well I did want to see us kill another Celestial or two, but if we get a nice epic ending narration I'll be cool.

And conversely, I wanted to try and get through without killing a single one.

If we get an epic win, Ramsus, then I'm all for it.

[Penguinator]

Day 26:

Eternal Drifter:
One day more!
Another day, another destiny.
And I’ll just drift along eternally.
And I and all my werewolf fame
Will surely join another game
One day more!

Grue Bait:
I will not make it through the day
How can I finish what was started?

Eternal Drifter:
One day more.

Grue Bait and usourselves&we
Tomorrow is another day
And though it’s through, we must keep fighting

Billtodamax:
Soon I’ll sit upon a throne

Grue Bait and usourselves&we
You will taste defeat, my friend!

Billtodamax:
By myself, there is no sharing

Grue Bait and usourselves&we
I was born to battle you

Billtodamax:
And my might will soon be known.

Grue Bait and usourselves&we
And I swear I’ll fight with you!

Billtodamax:
Such a regal little chair.

Istari:
One more day before the storm!

Grue Bait:
Do I live to slay my foes?

Istari:
The Celestials take a beating!

Grue Bait:
Shall I take them from the Air?

Istari:
When our lives apart are torn

Grue Bait:
Do I stay; and do I dare?

Istari:
Will you still be here with me?

ALL
The time is now, the day is here!

Eternal Drifter:
One day more!

Onime-no-Enishi:
One more day to revolution,
But it’s going to be a dud!
I will kill these little Kinsmen,
They will wet themselves with blood!

Eternal Drifter:
One day more!

Zar Peter and Eternis:
Watch 'em run amuck,
Torch a little more,
Had a lot of luck
Now that we know the score,
Here a little flame,
There a little torch,
They won’t be returning
Once we burn their corpse!

Celestials: One day closer to us winning

Town: Our defenders will all die!

Celestials: Every man will be a king

Town: We just can’t do anything

Celestials: A new world is just beginning

Town: And soon it will all be done

ALL
Do you hear the people sing?

Grue Bait:
My place is here, I fight with Grues!

Eternal Drifter:
One day more!

Grue Bait and usourselves&we:
Oh, the violence we’ll display

Billtodamax:
One more day before the throne!

Grue Bait and usourselves&we:
Now shall we finish what was started?

Onime-no-Enishi(overlapping)
I am a Celestial hero,
I have lots of lives to go
I will never fall in battle,
I will take it nice and slow!

Eternal Drifter
One day more!

Grue Bait and usourselves&we:
Someday you will have to pay

billtodamax:
What a life upon the throne!

Grue Bait and usourselves&we:
When I’m gone, not broken-hearted

Onime-no-Enishi(overlapping)
Soon they’ll have their resolution
The Celestials will have won
We'll be ready for these

Kinsmen

Zar Peter and Eternis(overlapping)
Watch 'em run amuck,
Torch a little more,
Had a lot of luck
Now that we know the score!

Eternal Drifter
Tomorrow we'll be far away,
Tomorrow is the judgment day

ALL
Tomorrow we'll discover
What our great narrators have in store!
One more dawn
One more day
One day more!

Night 26 Begins.
It will end when the remaining players decide what they want to do.

[bladescape]

Now that was a brilliant narration.

[Xanmyral]

Beautifully done Penguinator.

[Lex-Kat]

I want to bring everyone back to life, and let us all live happily ever after.

[super dark33]

I am already revived in my Village. thank you village seer!

((See? youv already got plot for Center WW 2! Normal WW celestials Vs Metal village!))

[Zjoot]

Best Narration. Probably Ever.

[TheLaughingMan]

Actually, as it seems that the results at this point are more or less inevitable (Penguinator and I went over the best possible scenario for town that didn't involve more than half the Celestial team failing to vote), with your permission we'd like to just resolve the events quickly. So, everyone in favor or against please say how you feel about the idea and we'll proceed from there.

As long as we get some 'last stand' narration (serious or [hopefully] not) or somethin', I'll be cool with it.

And well done Peguinator. Women and men alike weep at the beauty of such a masterpiece.

[Zjoot]

If you guys want to end it, that's fine with me.

[Xanmyral]

I'd be good with ending it, but as I'm on the side of which will win if ended, I'll leave that to town.

[RuneboundShade]

Yeah, I'm fine with this ending.... though I'm still complaining at the fact that I joined when the Celestials had just about won, and I got this role that could join the the other side, but not the Celestials...

Not saying the narrators did a bad job, if fact, they did a splendid job, just saying I have pathetic luck.

[Penguinator]

And well done Peguinator. Women and men alike weep at the beauty of such a masterpiece.

Can I sig that?

[billtodamax]

Fantastic narration, Penguinator.

I reasonably sure that the Celestials are fine with the game ending, but I guess it comes down to the town.

[super dark33]

I have a stansa for me too!


Even immotals dont live forever
You will never get you happy ever after
Your ranks i will slaughter
Your weeps will overcome your laughter

[Ramsus]

Just kinda waiting on ED's opinion I believe.

[Istari]

The ache is of eternal...
The time is of eternal...

Much to my displeasure, I am departing here, sooner than I would have originally liked. However, I can no longer ignore the ache in my arm from using the computer too much. I must, with great regret, announce my week-long departure from the internet, including this game.

After the week is up, I will return to the playground, but I will not return to the hunt until Llama Llama Duck is recruiting.

Best wishes to the town.

One favor... give me an epic narriation for my character's death here, all right?

I think this implies consent.

[TheLaughingMan]

Can I sig that?

Sure okay. I'm not even sure it's possible to own the words I speak.

Yet.

[Xanmyral]

Sure okay. I'm not even sure it's possible to own the words I speak.

Yet.

What's to stop you from owning the words other people speak though?

[Ramsus]

Apparently some of you have full PM boxes so....hey guys, some of you have stuff to check out in your QTs.

[Eternal Drifter]

All waiting on me? I'm touched.

But yet, I can now say, that the town is doomed. The best we can hope for is to have the remaining two flee the castle, or have Istari flee with my cat and I hold off the celestials with the Grimore of the Werewolves...

[Penguinator]

Judgment Day:

After their song, the remaining Kinsmen buried their friend Grue Bait. They knew it was the last time they would see each other alive. They readied their weapons, preparing for the long battle ahead of them. The loudspeakers (which were mentioned a few days ago) began playing ominous music in the background.

Celestials are winning
The town faces hell
Can town make a comeback?
No doubt that we’ll tell
I guess that’s the end of the game
The end’s been found
Will things ever be the same again?

It’s the final countdown!
The final countdown!

Ohh
They’re coming between us and still we stand tall
Although they may beat us, we never shall fall, yeah.
With so many battles to go and battles around
(They’re abound)
But here we are rarin’ to go

It's the final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown
(The final countdown)
Ohh ho ohh

The final countdown, oh ho
It's the final countdown
The final countdown
The final countdown
(The final countdown)

Ohh
It's the final countdown
We're dying together
The final countdown
Where else would we go?
It's the final countdown
(The final countdown)
Ohh, it's the final countdown
Yeah

The Celestials slowly marched towards the last remaining Kinsmen. Billtodamax stepped forward, a scroll in his hand. “This is the last time we will offer to allow you to drop your weapons and join us. If you refuse, you will be killed. Do not throw your lives away.”
RuneboundShade’s ghost snuck past, shoving a girl at Eternal Drifter. “You don’t have to tell me twice!”
Drifter stood there blinking at the ghostly figure now in his arms. “Err… I… Huh?”
Bill shook his head. “Oh, sorry, Drifter. We can’t let you join with that… thing in your possession.”
C’nor shook his head from the back of the ghosts. He was so angered by the Celestials, that he refused to acknowledge their existence.
Grue Bait floated over the survivors, and grinned menacingly at the Celestials.
Istari only looked at Drifter, then back at billtodamax. “Your arrangements mean nothing to me. I will fight to the last.”
Billtodamax nodded. “Then it is done. Onime?”
A huge, armored figure strode onto the battlefield. Sparks flew from his body as he walked. A huge blade materialized into his hand, and a girl stood behind him. A guitarron was strapped to his back, and a lightning wolf pawed the ground next to him. Onime nodded from behind his helm, and the wolf growled, leaping at Drifter’s cat, ripping it to pieces.
Drifter’s head snapped up from the girl in his arms. “SNOWFLAKE!”
Istari sprang into action, spinning a staff and disappearing into thin air. After a moment, a mongoose sprung from the shadows, latching onto the wolf’s back. The wolf sparked in fury, and the mongoose slashed with the power of the air itself. Eventually, the wolf succumbed to multiple wounds in its back and neck, and the mongoose wiped its bloodied claws onto the sparking fur.
An antelope slammed into the mongoose’s side, stomping on its foreleg. The mongoose was trapped, and the antelope stabbed it with wooden antlers, trotting away as it shrieked in pain.
Three Celestials nodded from behind the armored figure.
“If this…”
“Is to be…”
“A battle…”
“Let us…”
“Call off…”
“Our pets.”
Drifter stood there, not sure what to do. He couldn’t leave, and his arms were full of… ghost?
Istari appeared behind him, winking for a moment, then disappeared again.
Zar Peter stood with a scope of sorts to his eye. “There. You can see the wind ripple just slightly.” He raised a trumpet to his lips, and blasted loudly. The Illusion surrounding Istari wore off, and Zar blasted him with a fireball. Istari collapsed, burned and bleeding.
Drifter knew it was just him, now, and the ghosts behind him. “Grue Bait… help me!” The ghost nodded, lifting him into the air. He rose above the Celestials, and nearly made it to the door. If only… if only…
A huge ghost appeared before them. The Dymiiun spoke telepathically, directly to their minds. “And where… do you think you’re going?”
Grue Bait dropped Drifter, startled. Drifter fell to the ground, where Eternis stood, waiting. A few blasts of flame, and that was the end of the one known as Eternal.
Billtodamax nodded, looking around at the other Celestials. “Victory is ours. We couldn’t have done it without each and every one of you. Especially the ghosts, who helped us in the past.”
Xan nodded, his wisp form glowing a bright green. "Checkmate."
The Shadow of Doubt cackled from the darkness, nowhere to be seen.
Even Murska stood with a pleased expression on his face.
The Grimmace nodded, his ghostly form no longer unfamiliar to him. This time, it was with him for good.
Rosencrance grinned. He had won. He had more than won. He had joined the winning side, and taken out all of his targets. The ghosts should have been proud.
The Celestials headed out of the castle, TheLaughingMan sighing as he floated among the remaining town ghosts. This time, there was no sparkle in his eye. For the first time, he wasn’t laughing.
Lex-Kat’s ghost was the last out of the castle. She grinned widely, and waved at the ghosts to follow her.
After everyone had left the castle, billtodamax turned to Zar Peter and Eternis. “Raze it to the ground. Center will know that the Celestials are a force to be reckoned with.”

Beneath the catacombs of the castle, a single ghost still floated around. TsukikoJ looked around at the trap door which had taken his life, as well as C'nor's, and at the gloom around him. “Isn’t anyone ever going to get me out of here?”

Secret Dymiiun stuff
Goal: Kill all the "power roles".
Powers: Claws: You have a voting power of two & Double Beast: when you die two people responsible for your death die with you. If there is a lack of valid targets for one or both of these deaths the targets will be chosen at random. These both count as Martial powers.

Items

Spoiler

Show

Musical instrument (there were four of these): You may choose to use this at any point before the day is over. 25% chance of losing it after use. Alone does nothing. If two people using musical instruments point at the same target +1 vote is generated. If three people using musical instruments point at the same target +2 votes are generated. If four people using musical instruments point at the same target something amazing happens.
The amazing thing: The target would have been recruited to the team whom the majority of music instruments belonged to instead of being lynched and the second in line for the lynch would be lynched instead. If this had happened early enough in the game the instrument holders and the target would have also gained special secret roles. Sadly, this never happened and these items were barely used at all the whole game.

The Thunderous Staff: A magical staff made of glass that generates a constant wind and static charge. Can be used once during the day with the same effect as the Illusion power, then it breaks. This was awarded to Banjo who then handed it off to Bladescape who used it to save himself.

The Mystery Item: Given to TLM on a whim because he amused us. It effected a random valid member of the targets team with a random power. In this case it brought the Grimmace back to life.

The Sisters
An NPC (Surra): You automatically reject invitations from the Infernals. +1 vote and dies in your place once. After they die your vote has a ghost vote in addition to your regular vote.
Onime started and ended with this item in a still alive state.

An NPC (Ni): You automatically reject invitations from the Celestials. +1 vote and dies in your place once. After they die your vote has a ghost vote in addition to your regular vote.
Lord Loss RuneboundShade started with this item and on (one of) the final quickened paced nights gave the item (in postmortem form) to Eternal Drifter so he could join the Celestials.

Comments
Well, Xan really was the MVP in both actual actions behind the scenes and just keeping Penguinator and I entertained. As such he'll be helping us make Center 2.

People really didn't use their powers very much, especially in early to mid game. Things could have gone very differently. In particular, I'm pretty sure Qwaz never once used his role power to do anything of use.

I wasn't expecting so many people to go for healing and so few to go for night kills. >_<

I'd ask questions about balance and how people liked things and if there were enough hats but.... well, Center 2 will be a whole different beast anyhow. You can make up and answer any questions you like however.

[Lex-Kat]

Agreed. Xanmyral really helped put everything together. I wasn't sure what was going on, and who to trust, but he convinced me that we could win this thing, and look, we did.

More of you should have joined me.

Question: What happened to my Heal for Gray Mage? I tried to revive him Night 2, and Fat Tony was raised instead. And to top it off, I lost my ability after that.

[Eternal Drifter]

Six months later, it has finally come to an end...

Thinking back, I probably shouldn't have outed Lex-kat as the necromancer... that caused all the ghosts to follow their lead suddenly, changing the game in favor of the celestials.

One reason why I called it quits: not one (billtodamax), not two (Zar Peter), but THREE (Eternis) beasts remained alive. We might have been able to take them out, but we wouldn't be able to stand up to the last of the celestials.

I may comment more later...
